Answer 1

For Top-Notch Car Rental, the total cost for a 300-mile trip is:

C = $150 + ($0.35 x 300) = $150 + $105 = $255

For Fleetwood Car Rental, the total cost for a 300-mile trip is:

C = $200 + ($0.10 x 300) = $200 + $30 = $230

Therefore, Fleetwood Car Rental is less expensive for a 300-mile trip by $255 - $230 = $25.

So, the answer is 2. Fleetwood Car Rental is less expensive by $25.

Answer 2

To determine which company is less expensive for a 300-mile trip, we can calculate the total cost for each company using their respective formulas.

For Top-Notch Car Rental:
Total cost, C1 = $150 + $0.35 * m

For Fleetwood Car Rental:
Total cost, C2 = $200 + $0.10 * m

Based on the given information, we know that the trip is 300 miles. Let's substitute this value into the formulas and calculate the total cost for each company.

For Top-Notch Car Rental:
C1 = $150 + $0.35 * 300
C1 = $150 + $105
C1 = $255

For Fleetwood Car Rental:
C2 = $200 + $0.10 * 300
C2 = $200 + $30
C2 = $230

Therefore, the total cost for a 300-mile trip is $255 for Top-Notch Car Rental and $230 for Fleetwood Car Rental.

To determine which company is less expensive, we need to compare the total costs. We can see that Fleetwood Car Rental is less expensive by $25 ($255 - $230) for a 300-mile trip.

Thus, Fleetwood Car Rental is less expensive than Top-Notch Car Rental for a 300-mile trip by $25.

Answer 3

To determine which car rental company is less expensive for a 300-mile trip, we need to calculate the total cost for each company.

For Top-Notch Car Rental:
The cost is $150 plus $0.35 per mile.
So, the total cost is $150 + (0.35 * 300) = $150 + $105 = $255.

For Fleetwood Car Rental:
The cost is $200 plus $0.10 per mile.
So, the total cost is $200 + (0.10 * 300) = $200 + $30 = $230.

Comparing the total costs, we can see that Top-Notch Car Rental is more expensive than Fleetwood Car Rental for a 300-mile trip, by $255 - $230 = $25.

Therefore, the answer is 2 (Fleetwood Car Rental), and it is less expensive by $25.
